Team discussions[edit]

Harbor[edit]

Discussion[edit]

  • Reservations about replacing reggie right now since we're close to opening it up
  • Using reggie for a small use-case and have not have problems
  • Harbor provides a lot more than that
  • Are these reservations shared among the team?
  • Goal with the patch was not to replace reggie *yet*
  • Goal: get it installed in a way that was repeatable and the rest of the team could participate and keep it in an experimental state and continue iterating
  • Maintenance: keep a couple extra containers on a k8s we're already running
  • Spending time to replace something that exists vs. wrapping up other things
  • Reggie does what we need vs. doing something experimental PM perspective: focus on our goal for the quarter
  • RESOLUTION: Keep it in our toolbox and postpone working on it for now
